Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley: What to expect?

Unlike any other fighter Paul has fought so far in his career, Woodley is actually an accomplished striker. He possesses legitimate knockout power in his hands. His highlight-reel finishes during his UFC career are a testament to the same.

However, striking in MMA is a lot different from striking in boxing. There are no kicks and elbows involved in the squared ring. Also, it will be interesting to see how effective Woodley’s power will be without the involvement of any grappling.

Paul, on the other hand, has been training in the craft of boxing for a considerable amount of time now. He has some world-class coaches at his disposal too. Hence, it only made sense for Woodley to accept world-class help.
